Blah, Blah, Blah...Went just a bit harder than going through the motions.

Blah, Blah, Blah...Weakness galore. Some things felt light, some heavy, but overall I guessed pretty well what weight I should use on everything.

Blah, Blah, Blah...Weak and inflexible. Nothing more to say really. ...No workout yesterday due to working 12hrs.

Blah, Blah, Blah...Weight 194.6<--post w/o...Not bad. Almost feel like someone who works out again.

Lifting and conditioning is looking solid Brian...hoping at get at you soon.

The craziness at work is settling down, and I was getting fed up with not working out. So I just decided to start working out again like I never quit. Forget easing into it. Like the famous Nike comercials use to say, I just did it. Plus, coach keeps trying to egg me into fighting. There is a masters class(35+) now and he knows he can get me a fight. Good grief. I'm a "Master". When did that happen. lol

Blah, Blah, Blah...Used a 15lbs db for the conditioning. That's the heaviest one they had at the club. There were some adjustable ones, but they disappeared with their owner apparently. I had absolutely no energy tonight. Was dreading doing any heavy bag work. So when coach asked me to spar with a bunch of newbies I was all for it. Went 2 rounds with one guy, 1 with another, and 2 with a girl. Basically let them do all the work. I just kept moving and pumping my jab out once in a while to keep them honest.

Blah, Blah, Blah...Was stronger than I thought I'd be at these moves. Still not very flexible, but am improving in that area.

Blah, Blah, Blah...Started out strong. Finished weak. I suppose that is to be expected when you're old and out of shape.

Just getting my stride back and there's a hickup in the near future. My afternoon counterpart at work put his 2 week resignation in. So there are some 12hr days ahead of me I'm guessing. The guy I'm training is smart and learns quickly, but I don't know about learning my job in 2 weeks. I figure they'll have me train him for 4 weeks which should make him competent enough to do the job, and able to learn the rest of it on the fly. So that's 2 weeks of 12's. Bad for working out, but good for Christmas. hehe

Blah, Blah, Blah...I'm bumping up the weights slowly, but can feel the strength coming back quickly.

No joke, the extra hours on the job is good for overtime but everything else takes a back seat...no doubt you'll be doing the best you can with this new development. Wish you the best bro.

I've only worked a 40hr week twice this year. And due to vacations/holidays I've had a few more 40hr checks. I'm currently on pace to make more this year, by myself, than me and my wife usually make combined. I won't complain about the overtime though. It puts a strain on time, but it is way better than being broke and unemployed.

Hi! Remember me? I'm still alive and kickin'. Went on a long stint of no working out. Tried altering my workouts to accomodate everyone, and thing, better. That ended up being me doing next to nothing. So said the hell with it and started doing what got me to where I was happy before. Still a jack-of-all trades master-of-none. Still set lifting and boxing/conditioning goals for myself. I just accept that unless I decide to focus on one area I'll never be quite as strong as you guys who out and out powerlift, and never be in quite as good of shape as you cardio whores. But don't get arrogant, cause I'll always be nipping at your heels. lol Currently I'm in decent shape and strength is so-so, for me.

Blah, Blah, Blah...No energy. Was expected though. Slept and puked all day thursday, sat and stared at the walls all day friday, and finally started to eat again on saturday. I'm probably still a tad dehydrated.

"you're an animal eat like one damn it!" - Wikked1

"Now we're finally getting to the chicken or the egg question," I grinned. "Did I eat all that food because my size gives me more of an appetite, or did I get to be this big because I've been forcing myself to eat like this for years?"

Kiff-"multi-discipline goals" sounds much better than how I refer to it. Usually refer to myself as the king of mediocrity. lol Welcome to the journal chief.

cphafner-Thanks man. I'd like to post here more often, but you know how it is. That whole "life" thing seems to push it down on the priority list. As I've said before, posting here gives me a sense of accountability for my workouts. I always make better progress knowing you all are watching.
